Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 18, 2015What can we do to reverse the course of decline in America before we reach the point of no return? The minority + God = the power to effect change. How can we become modern-day Josiahs and save our nation?

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 11, 2015We have forgotten our identity in Christ and sought out individualistic principles to make us the center of our universe. We have neglected what made America great to begin with. Can we change the course of our declining nation by simply "loving our neighbor"?

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 4, 2015Today we'll look at the natural life cycle of nations and the consequences of turning your back on God through the decline of Israel and America. Jesus forewarned of the destruction of Jerusalem in Mt 24:32–33 telling His followers to learn from theparable of the fig tree and recognize the signs. The signs are again evident today. Will you ignore them?

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 27, 2015Today we will take a deeper look into the reasons why nations fall. To properly assess this, we must first understand the differences between applied and natural consequences of behavior. The strength of a nation lies in its shared societal values which will reap natural generational curses or blessings from God. What is America reaping and how can we correct it?

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 20, 2015We are the people of God, saved by the blood of Jesus Christ and carrying the promise of eternal life in heaven.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 6, 2015Is American doomed to fall? Nations come and go, and we'll look at some examples, but the Christian nation is here to stay! We simply have to make sure that our citizenship is in heaven, a kingdom that will never fall.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM August 9, 2015Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap (Gal. 6:7). We cannot change the natural consequences of God when we deviate from His path, not as an individual nor as a nation.If we sow the wind, we will reap the whirlwind (Hosea 8:7). Let us not make the mistakes of prior generations, but see others as God does - precious and equal.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM August 2, 2015The phrase “Separation of Church and State” is not found in our original documents, yet we find it mentioned among our people as if it were fact.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM July 19, 2015Last week, we covered the original intent of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM July 5, 2015The church in Laodicea was the opposite of the church in Philadelphia. They were 'lukewarm' in their loyalty to Christ and relied upon wealth and for self-worth. This can easily happen today, therefore we must exhibit a zeal for Christ and lay up our treasures in heaven.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM June 28, 2015Philadelphia was the newest of the seven churches studied thus far, but it was a "key" location for the spread of the Gospel. Because of their faithfulness and perseverance, God promised to protect them from persecution, "open doors" for them, and offered them the hope of an eternal prize. They were the only church of the seven without a reprimand. Find out how those Christians can be a role model for His church today.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM June 14, 2015We must seek to put something into our worship service before we can expect to take something out of it. We must avoid ever becoming a “graveyard dead” church family like the one in Sardis which benefits no one and renders us useless to God as well.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM June 7, 2015The Lord had much praise for the good works being done in Thyatira. His warning was in regards to the things that they tolerated. When it comes to sin, Jesus did not tolerate it and neither should His church.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM May 31, 2015Pergamum held the seat of power and was the administrative city of Asia. It had the potential to be a great testament to the Lord, however they tolerated false teachers that drew some away from the truth. God warns them of the cost if they do not repent quickly and leaves them with an undeniable promise.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM May 24, 2015The Lord had a message for His church in Smyrna and He asks the same of His church here today: be faithful unto death.

Jesus will see to it that all Christians are taken care of.

Doug Hamilton - Monday AM May 11, 2015The church at Ephesus had done a lot of good deeds, however they were admonished that they had lost their first love. We also must make sure that we never lose the “first love” factor in our Christian lives. We must remind others in the church, and be reminded ourselves, to repent and live the way God has called for us to do - with love.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM May 3, 2015The purpose of this series is to learn eight applicable lessons from the locations described in Revelation 1:9-11. They are: Patmos, Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. Today we'll learn how the first-century church was able to spread the word in a hostile environment and how we can do the same.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM April 19, 2015It takes a parent to raise a child in the spiritual ways of God. It takes a congregation to help these parents to do their job.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM April 12, 2015Doug presents 4 stages involved in completing a mission trip and the 3 reasons he's glad to be home.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM March 1, 2015We have reached the end of our journey through the letter to the Roman church. Paul was able to successfully address the strife between the Jewish and Gentile converts and with those teachings in their possession, he provided some parting advice. There were three bits of sound wisdom imparted which can serve us well in the church today.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM February 15, 2015What was the Roman church like in the first century? They were a diverse group of active Christians, seeking to make a difference for the cause of Christ. There were missionaries from various backgrounds, couples, singles, Jewish and Gentile converts, men and women, rich and poor, and everyone in-between. So different from each other, yet united in Christ. This morning we'll meet some of those early Christians and learn how we can fit together into Christ's church.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM February 8, 2015In the closing section of the book of Romans, Paul offered the Christians some parting advice. He said in Romans 15:7, “Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.” This has to be one of the greatest tests for a Christian because we all come from so many different backgrounds and are so different in many ways. We'll examine five areas that Paul gives us to focus on that will help.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM February 1, 2015Being a Christian is more than simply making a statement and wearing a cross necklace. It is more that attending church on Sunday mornings. Being a Christian carries with it six distinguishing marks or traits which can be easily identified. We find these characteristics in Romans 15:1-6 and we'll review them this morning.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM January 25, 2015Can we dishonor God by becoming a stumbling block to our brother? God will judge each of us individually for our deeds in this area of our life. We must make our best attempts to not let our personal traditions come before your brother’s personal relationship with God. Instead, strive to become a peacemaker for the congregation and God will always be pleased.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM January 18, 2015The principle, “love your neighbor as yourself”, is found throughout the New Testament. Jesus explicitly taught that our relationship with our fellow man can influence our outcome with God, inhibiting our prayers and our forgiveness. Loving ourselves means that we need to be right with God on a daily basis in order to fully love our brethren in the way that God loves us. If we value our own souls, we can truly value the souls of others.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM January 11, 2015All Christians must resist a “loving relationship” with the world, for it will all be gone someday. In the end, the only thing that matters is whether or not we are right with God. Today we'll look at 3 ways we can be 'in' the world without being 'of' the world.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM January 4, 2015
In this last lesson, we will cover a topic that is extremely vital to our vision - Good Works. There must be a demonstration of Service to Christ in every church’s vision. Without it, we are nothing more than a “Christian” in name only. That is not what Jesus wants in our lives.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM December 21, 2014The focus of this lesson is Bible Study, and the aim is to generate a spirit of wanting to learn more about God’s word and applying it to our lives. Specifically, we will examine it from the perspective of the early church, through small-group, home Bible studies.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM December 14, 2014This week we learn how to better fellowship with Christ through our fellowship with the saints. One way Camp Hill has chosen to do this is through Life Groups. What impact can Life Groups have for the congregation and for the community? We examine their purpose and importance today.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM December 7, 2014A congregation of God’s people must look to the future and determine what course they will follow to arrive at the correct destination in the end. A "vision statement" outlines the direction and destination for the congregation. It is what we are about. A few years ago, we made a vision statement for our congregation, one that wisely aligned with God's plan for His people. Over the next 4 weeks, we will cover 4 steps to attaining that vision.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM November 30, 2014We are told in Col 3:17, “Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.” We are also told in 1 Thes. 5:18, “…in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” Paul is telling the Christian that they are to have an ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE. How does one develop an attitude of gratitude? How does one really be thankful?

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM November 9, 2014In our zeal to spread God's word sometimes we feel so alone. Rest assured, we are not alone in feeling alone, many of the prophets felt the same way. Today we'll examine six important principles for successful evangelism.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM November 2, 2014Paul recognizes the zeal in the hearts of his fellow Jews, but said that their zeal was "not in accordance with knowledge." Without the proper knowledge, their zeal was both misguided and invalidated. Today, we'll examine how we can know for certain if we're being sincere in our faith or sincerely wrong.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 26, 2014Paul reminds the Jewish Christian converts at Rome that the Old Covenant and the Law had been made void through Jesus. He was carrying out the delicate process of whittling away at their former covenant and helping them understand what role the Law played. This led to a very important question. What about all those promises that God made to Israel from the Old Testament? During the next three chapters, 9-11, we will journey with Paul as he provides the answers to that question using many Old Testament scriptures.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 19, 2014Paul said, "Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." But the promise comes with conditions that must be met in order for the Spirit to assure us of this victory in Jesus. Today we'll discuss those conditions and how we can have confidence in our salvation.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 12, 2014Paul uses the example of an earthly marriage to explain the relationship between the old Law, given to the Jews, and the new covenant that will bring about unity among the various members of the church - the Jews, the Gentile and everything in-between.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 5, 2014God is serious about the specifics of His word concerning His covenant for the New Testament. He told us how to become a covenant Christian of God. Did you seriously take Him up on the offer?

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 28, 2014Justification by faith is the primary theme of the first half of Romans. It is thedetermining factor of whether we go be with God for an eternity in heaven. In Chapter 6, we learn at what point we obtain justification by faith.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 21, 2014Paul wrote to the Corinthian Christians in 1 Cor. 4:10-13, "We are fools for Christ’s sake..." He communicated to them that in the eyes of the world the apostles had chosen a hard life for the cause of Christ instead of the comfortable existence in the presence evil age. We have a similar word in our modern day vocabulary called weirdo. We are "Weirdos in Christ" and proud of it. Find out how you can stand out from the world too and become a 'weirdo for Christ.'

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 7, 2014Paul's arguement in Romans uses two well-known pillars of the Jewish faith to establish the fact that justification came through internal faith and not on the external factors they relied upon. Today we can be found guilty of the same false reasoning, unless we apply these three truths to our lives.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM August 31, 2014Chapter 3 of Romans teaches us that "all fall short" as sinners - both the Jews and the Gentiles - "there is none righteous, there is not even one." Paul lays out the plain facts that neither group can be saved by faith only or by works only. Doug points out 3 related dangers that can befall Christians in regards to sin and how we can avoid them.

Darren Crowden - Sunday AM August 17, 2014Do you ever feel like your life is pretty full and you have enough Jesus? You just don't have room for any more Jesus in your life. The truth is, that when you get to know Jesus better, you'll come to realize that you'll always need MORE Jesus in your life - you can never really have enough!

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM August 10, 2014The Jews trusted in their lineage; the Greeks, their works. Come listen to Paul's argument that we cannot trust in either; but that we need to become one with Jesus and boast only in Him crucified.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM August 3, 2014It is our job to spread the message of Christ to be effective in the spiritual war which is around us. In the end, the only thing that matters is if we are a citizen of heaven or part of the dying world receiving the wrath of God. We will look at 3 stages of His wrath and learn how to avoid them so that we can assuredly enjoy the blessings of God throughout eternity.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM July 27, 2014We will examine the Book of Romans, starting with the eloquent greeting from Paul. We'll learn when, why, and about the people Paul's letter was written to. See how much you can learn from just a few brief paragraphs about your life as a Christian and the excitement Paul had in sharing his faith with the church in Rome.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM July 13, 2014What is truth? Simply put, TRUTH is seeing things through God’s eyes and not the warped eyes of man. Today we'll look at the Biblical view of truth vs. the world's view of truth and how we can apply it to our lives to shine in the world today.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM July 6, 2014Every material blessing we have in this life is really not our own, but God’s. Understanding this and having God's perspective of our blessings can help us to become shining lights in the world.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM June 29, 2014Today we'll compare and contrast the Biblical view of Marriage and Sex with the worldly view and see how we can use this knowledge to shine as lights among a Crooked and Perverse Generation.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM June 22, 2014The Christian is to value all human beings, for they all have a soul. Today we will focus on three groups of people in particular that the Bible discusses and how we can shine as lights into the world.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM June 15, 2014There is a way of God and the way of the crooked and perverse generation. We must not confuse the two for they are as opposite as light is from darkness. This series, “The Crooked and Perverse Generation,” focuses on the clash of the two different views. In response, we have the responsibility to be lights among darkness.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM June 8, 2014As you know, over the past forty weeks we have covered a series developed by our own congregation called God’s Love Story. We made our best attempt to cover the entire Bible throughout that time from the primary theme of the Bible, God’s love for us. Here it is from the first week to the last.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM June 1, 2014In our final week, we read the mail of the first-century Christians and see what is about to happen to that generation, how they were encouraged to stay strong during persecution, and how we can apply that to our modern-day lives. It is a fascinating journey you won't want to miss.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM May 25, 2014Hear the encouraging words written to the Hebrews who were being pulled away from their new found faith in Jesus. Join us as we examine the former champions of the faith who ran as to win an everlasting crown. Now is the time, this is the place and our lives are the race! Learn how you too can shed your fears & doubt and run a strong race towards Jesus.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM May 18, 2014Using the first chapter of the Book of James, we learn much about how God’s Love Story can be tested. James exposes nine strategies in order to hang onto to the hope of God when the trials of this life are pressing us.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM May 11, 2014The scripture states concerning Paul's house arrest in Acts 28:30 "And he stayed two full years in his own rented quarters and was welcoming all who came to him." In this lesson we will examine the identification of some of these visitors and their relevance concerning the Prison Epistles.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM May 4, 2014
In this passage at the closing of the Book of Acts, Luke recorded that Paul spent two years under house arrest in Rome where he sought to be evanagelistic. What happens after his release is also intriguing. Paul left that prison with a mindset to further the works of the kingdom. He knew his days were numbered and sought to put in place a God-ordained structure to keep the churches strong once the apostolic age was over. It is called an eldership.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM April 27, 2014We need to make sure that we understand the gospel and why it is the Love Story of God for us today. We also must follow-up with Christians to hold them in Christ until maturity. Your actions today will more than likely assure that God’s Love Story will be strong in their lives tomorrow.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM April 20, 2014There is a tendency for the Christian community to view their faith from a regional or national point of view. God’s Love Story has always and will always be a worldwide perspective. While Jesus was in His earthly ministry He communicated a worldwide love story and we must never forget it.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM April 13, 2014God wants us to be evangelistic in our approach to the world. He wants us to share the blessed plan of salvation to as many souls as possible. If we want to have the best opportunity to share this message with power, then we must mirror these 5 elements of the very first gospel presentation.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM April 6, 2014If you were to count every single word of the Bible, you would find 783,137 of them. But there are three words from within all of the pages that will be focused upon in this lesson. Let us examine the morning leading up to the resurrection of Jesus. Three words that define us as Christians and changed the course of history forever.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM March 30, 2014God has a Love Story and it all points to Jesus. Particularly it refers to Jesus breaking His body in every way for us and in the blood atonement shed upon His cross. This is what we commemorate every first day of the week when we are gathered together as His kingdom.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM March 23, 2014Reaching out to the needy with our RESOURCES and the GOSPEL is the one-two punch of evangelism. If we will just live up to our true responsibility as Christians in this life, then we will make a difference in the eternal lives of all involved. Go and live God’s Love Story!

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM March 16, 2014
Jesus spent His entire earthly life communicating the message “GOD LOVES YOU”, but not everybody would accept this and many people just didn't 'get it.' Sometime we allow our earthly perspective to cloud our view of His love for us. But the truth is, He loves us endlessly and completely.

Sunday AM February 23, 2014From the promise given in the Garden of Eden until now, God has used all things to prepare the way for the arrival of His Son, the perfect sacrifice, the One mediator, the promised one, Jesus Christ. Come, watch the plan unfold.
And the angel said to her, "Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and give birth to a son, and will call his name 'Jesus.'" (Luke 1:30-31)

Sunday AM February 16, 2014Esther's account reveals the amazing hand of God working behind the scenes to save the bloodline of the coming Savior. It is an inspiring chapter in God's Love Story that teaches us how and why to be brave in times of adversity.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM February 9, 2014There are many in the kingdom of God who have tasted salvation, but walked away in their lack of commitment. They believed for a while, but in time of temptation have fallen away (Luke 8:13). They have strayed from the truth (James 5:19) and have forgotten the love story of God. Don’t lose heart! Learn from Israel and Come Home to God’s Love Story!

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM February 2, 2014The Book of Daniel demonstrates how God's love for us stands outside of time itself. As we see Daniel connect the past with events 500 years in the future, we can know for sure that our God has a plan in motion that no one can deny or destroy. He has a plan for you too in His timeless Love Story.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM January 26, 2014
God is consistent and His Love Story is Consistent, persistent and constant. Once you experience God’s Love Story, nobody can take it away from you. One can give it up by giving up, but it cannot be taken away.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM January 19, 2014God Love Story has always included mercy. He wants to extend it and we need Him to extend it. He also expects us to extend it to others. Apply this lesson by living a merciful life to others and to God.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM January 12, 2014
We in the Christian faith must understand that trials will come to us in this life. There are forces out in the world trying to pull us away from God and His love for us. Learn how we, like Job, can overcome these trials by staying close to God.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM January 5, 2014Sometimes our behaviors can lead to predictable disaster in our lives. This leads to an important question, "What are the signs when God’s Love Story is about to completely unravel in the lives of a people?" A brief look at the demise of the Southern Kingdom of Judah will yield some important clues.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM December 8, 2013From Genesis to Revelation, we learn of the love that God has not only for His people, but the entire world. His love story is centered in a very personal relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ. We will examine some of the ways that it is personal for us including our personal accountability toward God, personal sincerity to God, and the personal consequences from God.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM December 1, 2013Like David, Christians are called to be Mighty People of Valor that can take out any giants that come before us with the Mighty Power of the Blood of Jesus! If we will simply have this attitude in the name of our blessed Lord Jesus Christ, we will have the victory that God wants us to have against the giants that are before us.

Darren Crowden - Sunday AM November 24, 2013This chapter is one filled with rejection - Rejection of God as leader of His people, rejection of the king Israel had begged for, rejection of God's word - all of which had consequences. Come and see first-hand as Saul walks you through his life in hopes that you'll learn from his mistakes.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM November 17, 2013We live in a society that has forgotten the importance of commitment. A brief look at the book of Ruth should bring things back into perspective. The basis of all commitments we make to other people must be based in the fact that God committed to us first. A Christian walk void of commitment is a “Ruth”less walk.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM November 10, 2013Are you feeling like a loser? Are you not trusting that God will get you through that temptation? Are you being persecuted? Are you alienated from the world? We will discuss six of the thirteen judges of Israel and through them you will clearly see the pattern of God's wonderful story of rescue for his people.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 27, 2013Make sure the word REMEMBER is applicable concerning your Past history with God, your Present obligations to God and your Future blessings of God. Meditate on them and keep it fresh in your mind at all times. If you do, then you will never let go of God's Love Story in your life.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 20, 2013If you want to truly understand God's Love Story, then you will have to trust Him. Contentment is the greatest way we can trust God to carry us through to the end. Trust and Obey, for there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 13, 2013What is the opposite of Love? Some might say hate, but in terms of God's Love Story it would be Sin. This is because sin is the obstacle we put in the way of God's love, going contrary to His will for our lives. This includes sin against our brethren as well. In this study we will cover the sacrificial system, how it restored a broken people to their God, and how Christ has reconciled us to God today.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 6, 2013God wanted them to make a center of worship called the Tabernacle. It was to be portable, structured and God-centered. It is in this pattern that we learn a deeper meaning of who we are as a people, Who God is in our lives and what heaven is like for those who await it. Just like they were to "Behold the Pattern", we also are to do the same. It is a pattern of God's Love Story.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 29, 2013Within the context of God's Love Story, we must understand that His love for us is undivided and that our love for Him must also be undivided. He does not want us trusting in our modern gods of money, fame, fortune, fitness, entertainment, political savvy or political correctness, but in Him only. We must strive to have a jealous love for Him, loving Him with all our heart, soul and mind (Mt 22:37). Only then can we truly understand God's Love Story.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 22, 2013God's Love Story must be viewed as the overall Big Picture. He loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son (John 3:16). We must never forget that our lives in this realm are but one chapter of a greater theme overall.
Genesis Chapters 37-50

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 8, 2013There is a movement in this world today that likes to beat the drum of "God is not real" or "Where is the evidence that He is even there?" If we are ever going to understand God's Love Story, then we must know that God is not hiding from us, for His evidence is abundant if we will only look.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 1, 2013This is the introduction to the 40-week series on God's Love Story. If you have always wanted to go through the entire Bible, but have not yet done so, then we invite you on this adventure. In this lesson we will discuss seven reasons why the Bible is the book you should be reading.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM July 28, 2013This is part three of a series designed to generate an overwhelming obligation to share Christ with the people in our lives. We often neglect this part of Christianity in our lives. This series will help with that.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM July 21, 2013This is a series designed to generate an overwhelming obligation to share Christ with the people in our lives. We often neglect this part of Christianity in our lives. This series will help with that.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM July 14, 2013This is a series designed to generate an overwhelming obligation to share Christ with the people in our lives. We often neglect this part of Christianity in our lives. This series will help with that.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday PM July 7, 2013There are many comparisons which can be made between Superman and Jesus. In light of the the new movie that is in the theaters, let us take the liberty to do that at this time.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM July 7, 2013America is becoming more and more ignorant of our national heritage. In this lesson we will go back in time to examine our independence roots in an effort to re-discover our dependence roots on God.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM June 30, 2013Much information has come out about the NSA spying on American citizens. Naturally this has upset many in the nation. This lesson talks about God's surveillance system that dwarfs that of the NSA.

Brian Dowler - Sunday AM June 23, 2013Following the Great Commission to "GO and make disciples of all nations," Camp Hill launches a new evangelism tool for sharing God's Word with the community and the world. Brian Dowler explains the program and how it can be used by any congregation.
Brian's presentation begins at the 1-hour 36-min mark. (1:36:00)

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM June 16, 2013The US Supreme Court will issue and edict this month on the Defense of Marriage Act, possibly paving the way for Gay Marriage throughout the land. This sermon is addressing that.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday PM June 9, 2013There are many shipwrecks that will come in the lives of Christians. Examining Acts 27, we will apply five principles for dealing with disaster when it comes our way.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM June 9, 2013There are many shipwrecks that will come in the lives of Christians. Examining Acts 27, we will apply five principles for dealing with disaster when it comes our way.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM June 2, 2013This is one of the big questions in the life of the Christian. In part one we will cover some of the preliminary clarifications to better answer this. In lesson two we will cover the various reasons why it is so. In the end, no one person has all the answers, but this will be a good start.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM May 12, 2013Recently in Cleveland, Ohio there was revealed a horrific crime that changes the lives of many, including four mothers. This lesson is current events with biblical implications in light of it.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM May 5, 2013Philippians 3:10-21. As Christians, we constantly fight battles every day. We win some and we lose some. Paul enlightens us in the text how to have strength in the battles through keeping the ultimate victory of the Christian soldier in mind.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday PM April 21, 2013Continuation from lesson #2 of the series. This is a reflection of the resurrection of Jesus from the historical writings of Luke concerning the life-change of Paul.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday PM April 7, 2013Continued from lesson one. The purpose of this lesson is not only bolster the faith of the believer in Christ, but to better equip Christians to take the doubters from the Jesus of mythology to the same being Savior of the world.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM April 7, 2013The purpose of this lesson is not only bolster the faith of the believer in Christ, but to better equip Christians to take the doubters from the Jesus of mythology to the same being Savior of the world.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday PM January 13, 2013Becoming a Christian does not make us perfect, but forgiven. At the point of baptism we are cleansed of our sins, but there can still remain a failure to communicate.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM January 6, 2013What typically determines the success of participation of each of these organizations? It is the level of benefits offered by a group that will largely determine the ability to recruit newcomers. Fewer benefits will make it a tough sell to others; Many meaningful benefits make it an easy sell.
I would like to make my first sermon of 2013 with the focused title The Benefits of a Great Church Family.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM December 30, 2012We are at the close of the five-part series The Death of a Nation. According to the Bible, we know that all nations will die. We know that the life-span of a nation is tied to the natural blessings in adapting God's principles to that government and people. We know the nation goes the path of narcissism that the end is near. We also learned that there is a patterned life-cycle of these nations. With all that in mind we must ask a most important question...What can we really do about it?

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM November 11, 2012Are you a little sad about the state of the nation? Perhaps the last election cycle has you down? This series is for you so as to better understand where it fits into he big picture.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM November 11, 2012Are you a little sad about the state of the nation? Perhaps the last election cycle has you down? This series is for you so as to better understand where it fits into the big picture.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM November 4, 2012Deep down inside, we all want to make a difference in the lives of many, but fail to do so. This lesson focuses on being able to change this. One person can make all the difference in the end. Will that person be you?

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 7, 2012It is in this collection of funds, the offering, that we will focus on in this lesson. Paul already said that he was consistent in his teachings throughout the churches of Christ, for what he taught in one church was the same for all the churches of Christ (1 Cor 4:17 ...just as I teach everywhere in every church.)

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 23, 2012Paul poses two questions in 1 Corinthians 15:35 ?How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?? These are two great questions that every Christian should contemplate. It would be wise to use not only this text from 1 Corinthians 15, but the many others from the whole Bible to answer it.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 16, 2012We can have confidence in our salvation, confidence in our God and confidence in our Savior! Just keep pressing on to the mark of the prize of the upward call which is in Christ Jesus.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 9, 2012In the last lesson we focused on the Big Message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the message
of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus from the dead. In this section of chapter fifteen we
will learn some of the deeper implications of Jesus' resurrection. There are three important
thoughts up for discussion.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 2, 2012As Paul states in Titus 1:2 that we are the people ...in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago. WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE OF THE HOPE OF THE RESURRECTION!

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM August 5, 2012The Corinthian Christians had a problem of divisiveness and Paul aimed to deal with it in ways that they could relate to. When becoming a Christian, we tend to hang onto our more independent nature that we had prior. We are apt to focus on our own identity first and then the group. That is not the attitude we are to have.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM July 29, 2012There is a faction called the Charismatic Movement. Their leaders teach that the miracles which occurred in the first-century are still in place today. This lesson will test that theory.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM July 22, 2012There has always been division in the church, for it is made up of humans. The Corinthians struggled with the same and Paul aimed to deal with it through education of the Lord's Supper.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM July 15, 2012How we present ourselves among the world says quite a bit on who we are inside the church family. Examining the text of 1 Corinthians 11:2-16, we will learn more about this.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday PM July 1, 2012How we act in our liberalities can not only be a stumbling block to weaker Christians and Humbling Blocks to older Christians, but also Grumbling Blocks for all Christians. The text for the sermon is 1 Corinthians 10.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM July 1, 2012In the last lesson Paul dealt with with the fact that some of the Corinthians had placed a stumbling block before the weaker brethren. In this chapter he will place a Big Humbling Block before them so as to bring things into perspective.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM June 24, 2012This is a look at 1 Corinthians chapter 8 and how things we do in the church family can lead to great stumbling blocks. We all have some sort of idolatry that needs our attention.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM April 1, 2012The aim of this lesson is to deal with the absolute points of knowledge of the first-century church that emerged from the shadow of the apostles. We live in a world that prides itself on divisive relativism. We in the church need to take the time to dwell in the minds of the first-century Christian and attempt to KNOW what they KNEW for sure. The New Testament is very clear about what the first-century Christians knew. Using verses from the NT that include ?know?, ?knowing? and ?do you not know?, we will try and reconstruct some of the absolute so as to leave this study ?absolutely united? in our mission of Christ.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM January 8, 2012This is the first in a series titled The Conversion Before Conversions. We often do not reach out to others with the gospel of Christ because we have not gone through a particular conversion ourselves.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 23, 2011God has a special purpose for the men in our culture. If they do not take it seriously, they will be subject to emasculation. With an intro like that you will have to listen!

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 16, 2011Jesus claims to have the power over the resurrection. This is what He said, but why should we take His word on it? This sermon details Jesus defense of that same point to the Jews in John 5.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM September 11, 2011In the last lesson we covered the history of the small group Bible studies from the Bible. We established from Genesis through the New Testament that people were meeting in groups at many locations and covering many topics. In the second lesson of the three-part series, we will cover some of the many benefits of the same.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM August 7, 2011Thus far in the series of Summer of Psalms, we have covered five themes from this marvelous writing. We have covered Praise to God, Protection from God, Service for God and Reverence of God. In this lesson we will focus on the Guidance of God through the words of the Psalmist.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM July 17, 2011In the series on the Psalms we have thus covered two themes of Christianity, Praise to God and Protection from God. The songs that we have sung for our worship service have all come from the Psalms and paralleled the themes. In the third lesson of the series, we will discuss our Service for God in our Christian perspective.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM May 15, 2011God is Omnificent, Omnipotent, Omnibenevolent, Omniscient and Omnipresent. If God was not those things, then He would not be God. He is in essence the OMNIGOD! He is our OMNI-EVERYTHING!

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM May 8, 2011The greatest investment that you could ever make for another...TIME. It is the glue that holds our relationships together and is the structure for all of our ministries for the church.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM May 1, 2011There are many prominent words in the Bible: Evil, good, money, sin, life, death and sacrifice just to name a few. Likely the most important word in the whole Bible is LOVE. This word appears in nearly every book of the Bible in one form or another and is a cornerstone theme of the plan of God. Knowing this, I would like to cover three types of love that Bible clearly spells out for us.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM April 24, 2011Matt. 28:19-20 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." They were sent out with the message of the Gospel and told to deliver it unto the world. At this point, they became Apostles and their mission was to be Riders of the Holy Express.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM February 13, 2011The candy, the flowers, the cards, the dinners all communicate one theme...LOVE. With that in mind and using 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, let us see what they really wanted for Valentine's Day.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM January 30, 2011Whenever the people of God are on the right path toward prosperity, the devil tries to knock us off track through grumbling. This lesson examines the true dangers of grumbling.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM January 23, 2011Using the relationship of David and Jonathan from the books of 1 and 2 Samuel, we will try to define what a ?Best Friend Forever? is and how to develop this type of friendship with another. How can you identify a ?Best Friend Forever??

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM January 16, 2011Jesus said in Matthew 28:20 that disciples must be taught to observe commandments in order to stay disciples. This lesson looks at some of the basic concepts to be taught to disciples to keep them and others in the Kingdom of God.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM December 26, 2010We are in a season where much of the world has the account of the birth of Christ on their minds, for that is a national tradition. The world has a way of teaching in the name of the Bible that which is not even in the Bible. The aim of this lesson is to use actually use the Bible to expose the misrepresentations of the Bible by the world.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM December 5, 2010This is the third part of a four part series concerning the compromises that Pharaoh wanted Moses to accept. The primary theme of the lesson is PARENTS, GET INVOLVED!

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM November 21, 2010The account of Moses and his encounter with Pharaoh makes for some interesting reading. It was during the series of plagues that we find another series of value that is often overlooked. It is a sequence of four compromises that the devil would like for the church and the Christians therewith to take.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 10, 2010Is a Christian foolish to believe in a Great Flood as spelled out in Genesis 6-9? Hopefully you will be more than willing to examine just a brief overview before making up your mind.

Doug Hamilton - Sunday AM October 3, 2010This is a continuation of the series on Evolution. In this lesson we will look at just a few of the biological hurdles we must face in order to believe in Evolution.
